[plaque in front of memorial]
The pyramidal design of the 79th
Fighter Group Memorial symbolizes
the origin of its combat career in
Egypt, land of the Pyramids.

The Group utilized comparative
traits of strength, solidity and
durability to accumulate 37,006
combat sorties - while pursuing the
enemy through eight countries and
enduring five invasions. All was
accomplished by courageous men
who believed in their country,
mission and themselves.

Erected 1988 by 79th Fighter Group Association.
